Are there any discounts for students or military personnel?

I’m a full-time university student with a valid student ID, and my brother is an active-duty service member with his military ID. We’re planning to make a significant purchase soon, and we’re curious if there are any special discounts available—either student or military discounts—for the products or services you offer. If such discounts exist, could you please specify what documentation we’d need to provide at checkout to verify our eligibility? Also, are these discounts applied directly during the purchase process, or do we need to inquire separately beforehand? Thank you for clarifying this for us!
